EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving from the early 20th century, we see the letter M personified as Modestie, embodying the virtue of humility and grace. Modestie is depicted receiving flattery with a sense of modesty, showing us how to accept praise graciously without letting it go to our heads. This illustration comes from an ABC book titled "Alphabet of good advice and mistakes to avoid," emphasizing moral values and life lessons.
Created by Charles Ramel et Cie in Paris around 1919, this artwork is part of a 52-page album filled with illustrations by Henri Gray. The delicate details and intricate design showcase the talent and craftsmanship of the artist, Henri Boulanger.
As we gaze upon this enchanting image, we are reminded of the importance of staying humble in the face of compliments and accolades. Modestie sets an example for others to follow, encouraging us to be kind-hearted and considerate towards one another.
This vintage print serves as a timeless reminder that true beauty lies in modesty and sincerity. Let us strive to emulate Modestie's virtues, making our world a place where kindness reigns supreme and mockery has no place.
